CORDELIA: Lorne - do these guys have groins?

FRED: Is that really important right now?

CORDELIA: Work with me here, kids.

LORNE: I think so. I never knew one intimately.

(Cordy steps forward and kicks one of the Nahdrahs between the legs. We hear a metal clang, and Cordy hops back on one foot.)

CORDELIA: Oh. Ow! Ow! Ow!

(Cordy hops backwards through the curtain, only to come back in, bracketed by Wes and Gunn, who proceed to attack the Nahdrahs.)

CORDELIA: Fred! Help her!

WES/GUNN: Fred!

(Scuffle. The Princes' head comes off)

GUNN: Well, I guess you cut off the snake's head...

(All the Nahdrahs start clicking and raise their weapons.)

LORNE: Yeah, come on. My hands are turning pink.

ANGEL: Guys, can I say something? Money's important but it - it isn't everything. - I got - I got carried away. - I just (looks down at Connor) I never had a life that was totally dependent on me before. (Looks at the money again) But that's no excuse. (To Cordy) Where was I?

CORDELIA: Money's not the most important.

ANGEL: No, it's not. What's - important is (looks from Connor to the other) family - and the mission.

CORDELILA: They tried to cut Fred's head off. We earned every penny.

(Cordy takes Connor from Angel as everyone but her rushes over to the spilled money and starts to stuff it into their pockets.)

GUNN: Spending money...
